    any bike from back then will have flex built in
    (bracing helps) the bigest problem is ground
    clearence (bloody pipes hit first)
    you just have to have a different
    mind set!! do not lean the bike just
    leave it up and move your body
    to move the centre of weight

    I gotten so used to the flex on the vfr, coming home when i lived in te atatu (jr will know this corner) and theres a sharp 35km (i think) bend, very shiny. I was aware of it and even then the back just slipped out, the front a little bit too but i was trying to load it up a bit. Casual as i did nothing and waited for the sliding to stop and im sure i could feel the frame flex help bring the bike back in line. Actually when i think about it Im sure I pushed the bike down a bit (motoX style) so that when or if the back did got out I could catch it. wouldnt work at higher speeds as well id imagine
